Two related open problems in the theory of 3D Navier-Stokes turbulence are discussed in this paper. The first is the phenomenon of intermittency in the dissipation field. Dissipation-range intermittency was first discovered experimentally by Batchelor and Townsend over fifty years ago. It is characterized by spatio-temporal binary behaviour in which long, quiescent periods in the velocity signa...

Abstmct-VLSI communication networks are wire-limited. The cost of a network is not a function of the number of switches required, but rather a function of the wiring density required to construct the network. This paper analyzes communication networks of varying dimension under the assumption of constant wire bisection. Expressions for the latency, average case throughput, and hot-spot throughp...

Forced convective boiling is of great interest for several applications in the power and process industry, particularly nuclear plants. Under certain nominal, incidental or accidental conditions, crisis (considering Departure from Nucleate Boiling as well Dry-Out) may lead to mechanical damage heated surface. An accurate prediction conditions leading occurrence this phenomenon then essential. I...

Measurements of mean velocity, turbulence intensity, and turbulent shear stresses are presented for the mixing region of a film cooling situation in which the coolant is laterally injected. Measurements are performed using triple-wire anemometry so that all three mean velocity components are documented. Such measurements also give Reynolds stress terms in the flow field. Flow with one row of fi...
